What Changed

The T5 with FWD has been dropped. The new R-Design package becomes standard on the T5 AWD. The package includes a satin matte-finish grille with matching side mirrors, lower side moldings, a rear spoiler, and five-spoke wheels. The interior features a unique instrument package, unique seats, and a leather-trimmed steering wheel.
